Current Actions

I oppose the plan to open up federal land in California for oil development. At a time when clean and inexhaustible alternatives such as wind and solar power are rapidly rising, and electric vehicle sales are quickly ramping up, it makes no sense to risk the surrounding national parks and wildlife refuges simply to extract the last few drops of oil from the ground. I urge you to withdraw this plan.

Oil spills are the greatest human-caused threat to sea otters, but the Trump administration will move to open more of our oceans up to offshore drilling as soon as possible. And we know that when we drill, we spill.

Tell your representatives to ban offshore drilling off all of America's coasts.

Oil spills are a terrible threat to wildlife like sea otters and risk the livelihood of coastal communities, but the Trump administration just announced a rollback of offshore drilling regulations put in place after the Deepwater Horizon disaster. We know that when we drill, we spill -- especially if fewer safety regulations are in place.

Tell your representatives to ban offshore drilling off all of America's coasts.

Thank you for voting for the Climate Action Now Act (H.R. 9). The science of global warming is clear -- we have no time to spare, and the stakes could not be higher. Thank you for supporting this critical first step in addressing the climate crisis.

Each year, Americans throw away millions of foam cups and take-out boxes. Too often, this pollution ends up in our waterways, where it can harm or even kill birds, fish and other animals.

Keeping our drinks hot or cold isn't worth polluting our environment for hundreds of years. I urge you to support a ban on foam cups and boxes made of polystyrene to reduce pollution in our rivers and protect wildlife.

The Canadian boreal forest is vast, ancient and of indescribable value. Covering over a billion acres, the forest absorbs and stores tons of carbon to help prevent climate change, and provides a home to irreplaceable wildlife.

Tree harvest for tissue products is causing the boreal forest to shrink alarmingly fast. The boreal is too important to destroy, especially since less damaging alternatives to virgin wood fiber are available. I strongly urge you to use recycled paper in your Charmin, Bounty and other tissue brands in order to protect the boreal forest.

Seismic blasting will have detrimental effects on thousands of dolphins, whales, turtles and more off of the Atlantic coast, especially the North Atlantic right whales, one of the world's most endangered species. Tell Acting Interior Secretary David Bernhardt to prevent this disruptive practice from invading the Atlantic.

I urge you to set strong, health-based standards that keep toxic per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) out of our drinking water. Even at low levels, PFAS chemicals are highly toxic, and they have already contaminated the drinking water of millions of Americans. Please protect our health by setting a limit of 1 part per trillion in drinking water for the entire class of PFAS chemicals.

Love of our coast and the urge to protect the Atlantic is an issue that crosses even the bitterest political divides. The facts have shown time and time again that offshore drilling leads to dangerous spills that do irreparable harm to ocean ecosystems. The Atlantic is simply too precious to risk for the sake of a little more oil. I strongly urge you not to expand oil development off our coasts.

The state of Alaska has asked the Trump administration to exempt the Tongass from the Roadless Rule -- and despite thousands of public comments arguing to keep Tongass wild and roadless, the Forest Service is still moving full steam ahead with a possible exemption.

One clear way to stop this? Making the Roadless Rule the law, so the U.S. Forest Service can't grant an exemption for the Tongass or any special wild place. Call on your legislators to protect the wild places in the Tongass and all our national forests.

The Trump administration's latest rollback could result in inefficient, energy-draining light bulbs in half the light sockets in the country -- at a time when we need to be using less energy, not more. Tell the Department of Energy: Don't roll back energy efficiency standards.

So many of our nation's natural treasures have been damaged or destroyed in the name of economic progress or ecological shortsightedness. We need to help our wildlife and wild places recover and thrive, not consign them to extinction. Today, only 5,500 wolves roam the Lower 48 states -- down from hundreds of thousands at their peak. The job of wolf recovery isn't done yet, and wolves need the protection of the Endangered Species Act to survive.

Lead is a known health threat, especially to children, that can result in permanent brain damage. Yet across the country, lead is still being found in our drinking water. Ask your governor to get the lead out of schools' water.

As hotspots of innovation and expertise, colleges and universities are uniquely positioned to help accelerate the transition to a clean energy future. Add your name in support of a 100% renewable energy future on college campuses.

At most, only 411 North Atlantic right whales remain on our planet. Human activity has pushed this species to the brink of extinction, but right now, we have a chance to save them. Tell your senators to protect the North Atlantic right whales.

Single use plastic products, like straws, pose a serious threat to the environment and to wildlife when they are discarded. Nothing we use for a few minutes should be allowed to pollute our rivers and oceans for hundreds of years--especially when we don't really need it.

I pledge to say "no" to plastic straws on this National Skip the Straw Day, February 22, 2019, and beyond.

Nothing we use for only a couple of minutes should pollute our environment for hundreds of years. When we discard single-use plastic products -- like plastic drinking straws -- they can make their way into the environment, threatening wildlife and polluting our communities. It's time to say "no" to plastic pollution.

I pledge to "skip the straw" for National Skip the Straw Day this February.

By using our energy more wisely and efficiently, we can combat climate change and clean up our air. I support standards that require appliances and other commonly used products and machinery to be more energy efficient, for the good of our communities and our planet.

Ninety percent of the world's food comes from just 100 crops, and bees pollinate 71 of them. Without bees, we would have less chocolate and fewer strawberries, let alone the bright and colorful flowers that we give our loved ones on Valentine's Day.Without bees, this holiday wouldn't be the same, and neither would our ecosystem.

The EPA's proposal to drastically weaken Clean Water Act protections is unacceptable. The proposed rule would wipe out federal protection for streams that provide drinking water to tens of millions of people, and for wetlands that filter pollution and protect our communities from flooding.

Please abandon this proposed rollback and return to the 2015 Clean Water Rule, which helped protect drinking water sources for 117 million Americans.

Michigan can and must accelerate our clean energy progress and end our dependence on fossil fuels in order to prevent the worst impacts of climate change. We owe it to our environment and future generations to transition Michigan to a clean, green, renewable tomorrow.

The Trump administration wants to end an important tax credit for electric vehicles, slowing down our transition to clean transportation at a time when we need to be doing everything we can to stop burning fossil fuels. Tell your senators: We should make it easier, not harder, for people to buy clean, electric cars.

Utah's national forests showcase the state's unique terrain, connecting mountain peaks and high-elevation lakes with canyons and valleys. Altering Utah's protection under the Roadless Rule will put 4 million acres of forested land at risk of logging.

We can't risk the protection of these treasured spaces. I urge you to keep our national forests protected.

The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is one of the most pristine wilderness areas left on the planet. Its coastal plain is essential to the polar bears, migratory birds and Porcupine caribou that depend on the plain throughout the year. Oil drilling would do irreversible damage to the wildlife populations and the land. Drilling doesn't belong in a wildlife refuge, especially the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. I urge you to adopt a "No action" alternative to drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

I'm writing to oppose any changes that weaken the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS). Mercury poisoning is linked to health issues including neurological disorders and brain damage, and exposure can even be fatal. The MATS rules protect the public by limiting emissions of mercury, arsenic, and other toxicants, Even the power industry, which has already invested more than $18 billion dollars in cleaning up dangerous and deadly pollutants, opposes these changes. Please keep the MATS rules in place.

Seismic blasting will have detrimental effects on thousands of dolphins, whales, turtles and more off of the Atlantic coast, especially the North Atlantic right whales, one of the world's most endangered species. Tell Acting Interior Secretary David Bernhardt to prevent this disruptive practice from invading the Atlantic.

The EPA's proposal to drastically weaken Clean Water Act protections is unacceptable. The proposed rule would wipe out federal protection for streams that provide drinking water to tens of millions of people, and for wetlands that filter pollution and protect our communities from flooding.

Please abandon this proposed rollback and return to the 2015 Clean Water Rule, which helped protect drinking water sources for 117 million Americans.

The Trump administration is chipping away at the Roadless Rule, which protects some of our most valuable wild places. The Roadless Area Conservation Act of 2018 would protect all 58.5 million acres of roadless national forest in 39 states -- permanently. Tell Sens. Stabenow and Peters: Support the Roadless Area Conservation Act.

Methane is one of the most powerful greenhouse gases, and approximately one-third of all methane pollution is generated by the production of oil and gas. The newly proposed rollback would produce an additional 350,000 metric tons of this intense, global warming pollution over the next six years and have detrimental effects on our climate, air quality and health.

I urge you to uphold the EPA's mission of protecting the environment and our health -- not polluters.

I'm writing in support of the Saving America's Pollinators Act. Bees are dying off at unsustainable rates, putting our food supply at risk. A big cause of these die-offs is bee-killing neonicotinoid pesticides -- but these neonics are still widely used, even in wildlife refuges that should be the safest place for bees. I urge you to pass this critical legislation to halt the use of neonics.

Gray wolves roamed America from coast to coast until hunting and trapping nearly eliminated them entirely. Today, wolf numbers are increasing -- but even this much recovery would have been impossible without the Endangered Species Act (ESA). We know wolves need protection if they are to survive. Call on your U.S. senators to vote "no" on any legislation that removes ESA protections for wolves.

Tropical forests are crucial to protecting endangered species and slowing climate change, and given the findings of the latest report on the state of our climate by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, we simply can't afford to wait until 2030 to take action.

Cargill can be a leader when it comes to ending deforestation and protecting our climate. I urge you to strengthen Cargill's forest policies to commit to eliminate all deforestation in all of its supply chains by 2023.

The Tongass National Forest in Alaska is the world's largest intact temperate rainforest and one of America's most cherished wild spaces. But it's all at risk of being clear-cut by the logging industry. We have a unique chance to save the Tongass and protect all of our other national forests by asking our senators to support the Roadless Area Conservation Act of 2018.

The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness is America's most-visited wilderness area: beautiful, nearly pristine, and irreplaceable. It is also uniquely vulnerable to the potential impacts of mining on its doorstep. The cancelled study of the potential impacts of copper-nickel mining on the Boundary Waters must be allowed to be completed. When the future of one of America's most special places is at stake, decisions that could impact its health forever must be made with all possible data at hand.

Our oceans are vital to the lives and livelihoods of coastal communities, small businesses and marine wildlife, all of which are threatened by the proposal to open our coastal waters to offshore drilling.

I urge you to listen to the communities, small businesses, governors and the millions of Americans from Florida to Alaska who have voiced their opposition to offshore drilling.

Our oceans deserve to be protected. I urge you to withdraw your plan to expand offshore offshore oil drilling.

I oppose any efforts to weaken national fuel efficiency and emission standards for cars.

If kept intact, these standards would cut carbon pollution nationwide by 6 billion metric tons, protecting the environment and public health. In addition, the average American household will save $2,800 under these standards.

You should be strengthening clean car standards, not putting the nation in reverse.

Sincerely,

*This comment will also be submitted to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration.

The Tongass National Forest in Alaska is the world's largest temperate rainforest and one of America's most valuable wild places. Removing the Tongass from the protection of the Roadless Area Conservation Rule, which protects wild areas in the Tongass and other national forests, would threaten its ancient spruce, hemlock, and red and yellow cedars -- and the blacktail deer, brown bears, wolves, marbled murrelets, bald eagles and many other species that call the 17 million-acre forest home.

I strongly urge you to keep the Tongass National Forest under the protection of the Roadless Area Conservation Rule.

Nothing we use for a few minutes should pollute our oceans, lakes and rivers and threaten our wildlife for centuries. Ask ourgovernor to take the lead on plastic pollution by supporting a ban on polystyrene foam cups and containers.

Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are, in the EPA's own words, "the most potent and longest lasting type of greenhouse gases emitted by human activities." In a world already experiencing historic storms, raging wildfires and dire drought -- the impacts of climate change -- we simply can't afford to release any more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. I strongly urge you not to rescind protective regulations surrounding potent climate-changing refrigerants.

Methane is one of the most powerful greenhouse gases, and approximately one-third of all methane pollution is generated by the production of oil and gas. The newly proposed rollback would produce an additional 350,000 metric tons over the next six years and have detrimental effects on our air quality and health.

I strongly urge you to keep the Tongass National Forest under the protection of the Roadless Area Conservation Rule.

I urge you to keep bee-killing neonicotinoid pesticides out of our national wildlife refuges. Bees need a safe habitat now more than ever: They're dying off at dangerous rates, and last year, a study found that there's "almost no safe place for a bee to exist." Our national wildlife refuges are the last place we should be spraying pesticides that are poisonous for bees.

We generate too much waste, and companies use their power in the marketplace to make things harder to repair. That adds costs to consumers and increases the amount of waste going to landfills.

Michigan should give every consumer and every small business, like Suyra's SKR Screen Repair, access to the parts, tools, and service information they need to repair products by passing Right to Repair reforms.

The Endangered Species Act (ESA) has formed the bedrock of American conservation for over 40 years, and has been 99 percent effective at preventing extinction. The proposed regulatory changes would make it easier to take protected status away from vulnerable species, and harder to protect the habitat they depend on to survive.

To protect our nation's rich biodiversity and the health of ecosystems on which we all depend, I urge you to withdraw the proposed changes to the ESA, specifically those contained in Dockets No. FWS-HQ-ES-2018-0006, No. FWS-HQ-ES-2018-0007, and No. FWS-HQ-ES-2018-0009.

I urge you not to finalize any plan that would allow mining or drilling on the land formerly protected under Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. Its iconic rock formations, 30 million years of fossils, and prehistoric ruins are more valuable than any resource we could extract. It would be a tragedy to see this beautiful place crawling with bulldozers and dotted with oil wells.

I urge you not to open up any land in the Ruby Mountains for drilling and fracking. This is a special, iconic place that deserves to be protected -- for the people who hike its hundreds of miles of trails, and for the animals that call it home.

I oppose any efforts to weaken national fuel efficiency and emission standards for cars.

If kept intact, these standards would cut carbon pollution nationwide by 6 billion metric tons, protecting the environment and public health. In addition, the average American household will save $2,800 under these standards.

You should be strengthening clean car standards, not putting the nation in reverse.

Earlier this month, the Bureau of Land Management released a draft plan that opens the lands that used to be part of Bears Ears up for mineral development such as uranium mining. Submit your public comment today to say no to mining at Bears Ears.

I urge you not to allow seismic blasting in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. It's destructive, and it will harm the very wildlife that ANWR is supposed to be a refuge for -- disrupting birds' migration patterns, driving caribou off their calving grounds and leaving endangered polar bears with fewer places to shelter for the winter. It has no place in a wildlife refuge.

The Tongass National Forest is a truly special place. It has a diverse ecosystem filled with thriving salmon populations, tens of thousands of grizzly bears and the world's largest grouping of bald eagles, and it is one of the largest intact wild places in the United States.

But the U.S. Forest Service is considering a plan to open up the Tongass up to commercial logging and the road building that accompanies it. Join us in urging the U.S. Forest Service to continue to protect wild, roadless areas in the Tongass.

The Obama-era Clean Power Plan was set to stave off the worst impacts of global warming by cutting carbon emissions by 32 percent by 2030. With the dire impacts of climate change becoming more visible by the day, neither our health nor our environment can afford an increase in carbon dioxide entering the atmosphere. I strongly urge you to implement a power plan that dramatically cuts carbon emissions and ensures a healthy, sustainable future for us all.

The Tongass National Forest in Alaska is the world's largest temperate rainforest and one of America's most valuable wild spaces. Removing the Tongass from the protection of the Roadless Conservation Rule would threaten its ancient spruce, hemlock, and red and yellow cedars -- and the blacktail deer, brown bears, wolves, marbled murrelets and bald eagles that call the 17 million-acre forest home. I strongly urge you to keep the Tongass National Forest under the protection of the Roadless Area Conservation Rule.

We've known for decades that lead contamination is a threat to our health.

The Contaminant and Lead Electronic Accounting and Reporting Requirements (CLEARR) for Drinking Water Act would provide federal funds for communities to get the lead out of their drinking water when they can't afford to do it themselves. It will also direct the Environmental Protection Agency to require electronic reporting of lead testing results and put in place stronger requirements for repeat offenders.

The Endangered Species Act (ESA) has formed the bedrock of American conservation for over 40 years, and has been 99 percent effective at preventing extinction. The proposed regulatory changes would make it easier to take protected status away from vulnerable species, and harder to protect the habitat they depend on to survive.

Transportation is the single largest producer of greenhouse gases in the United States. Freezing car emissions standards at 2020 levels for the next six years will allow billions of tons of dangerous pollution to continue to enter our atmosphere. For the sake of the air we all breathe, I strongly urge you not to roll back the national clean car standards that protect our health and environment, and to maintain states' abilities to set higher standards.

A spending bill just passed the House with many anti-environment riders in tow, including a repeal of the landmark Clean Water Rule that helps keep drinking water for 1 in 3 Americans safe. Other harmful riders threaten the health of our land, air and wildlife.

It's not too late to stop these dangerous anti-environment riders in the Senate, but only if your senators hear from you. Your senators need to know that you won't stand for a spending bill that puts our environment at risk.

I oppose any efforts to weaken national fuel efficiency and emission standards for cars.

If kept intact, these standards would cut carbon pollution nationwide by 6 billion metrics tons, protecting the environment and public health. In addition, the average American household will save $2,800 under these standards.

You should be strengthening clean car standards, not putting the nation in reverse.

The House will be voting any day now on a spending bill containing over a dozen dangerous policy riders, including a repeal of the Clean Water Rule, which helps keep drinking water for one-third of Americans safe. Other riders threaten our land, air, forests and wildlife.

There's too much at stake to let these riders slip through. We've succeeded in defeating dangerous anti-environment riders before, but to win again we need to speak up. Your representative needs to know that you won't stand for a spending bill that puts the quality of our environment and the safety of our drinking water at risk.

Tragic examples of the toll single-use plastic waste takes on animals and our environment have made front page news in recent months, from the whale that washed up on a beach in Spain with 64 pounds of plastic lodged in its stomach to a hard-to-watch video of scientists pulling a plastic straw out of a sea turtle's nose.

And still, we're making the problem worse: We throw away an estimated 175 million plastic straws every single day here in the U.S.

Ask our governor to choose wildlife over waste and support a statewide ban on plastic straws.

Finally, Scott Pruitt is out as the EPA administrator. With just over a year in office, Pruitt took action to repeal 22 environmental regulations -- including gutting the Clean Power Plan, the Clean Water Rule and clean cars standards. It's heartbreaking.

Now, President Trump has the chance to nominate someone who will protect our environment. Someone who will defend this country's most precious resources -- our land, water, and air. Someone who will live up to the mission of the EPA.

Tell President Trump to nominate an EPA leader who will be a true protector of the environment.

Eight years after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, the damage to the Gulf of Mexico still lingers: Oil residue has hurt the deep-sea microbe populations that form the base of the ocean food chain, potentially causing wide-ranging harm to ocean health. I urge you to prevent future disastrous oil spills by halting the opening of our waters to more offshore drilling.

Chlorpyrifos is the most widely used pesticide in U.S. agriculture, and exposure to it has serious consequences.

The EPA recognized the risks and banned indoor use of chlorpyrifos more than a decade ago. But chlorpyrifos is still sprayed on crops like corn, apples, strawberries and oranges, leaving families -- and especially children -- vulnerable.

The Trump administration recently announced it would roll back the federal clean car standards enacted under former President Obama. But with transportation emissions now the single largest contributor to global warming pollution, it's clear we need to act.

It's up to states to pave the way toward a cleaner future. Tell our governor to take the lead on clean cars.

Containers made of polystyrene foam never fully break down. Every single piece of polystyrene ever manufactured is still out there today, harming wildlife and our environment. Tell the governor to support a statewide ban on polystyrene.

The Grand Canyon is one of the most incredible sites on Earth. It holds a special place in our heritage and our national identity, and it deserves our protection.

I urge you to keep this natural wonder safe for future generations. Please uphold the 20-year moratorium on uranium mining on the public lands surrounding Grand Canyon National Park, and make those protections permanent.

We shouldn't have to worry about getting sick while swimming at the beach. Yet the Trump administration's proposed FY 2019 budget completely eliminates the BEACH Act grants program, which helps pay for testing water at our beaches and alerting the public when it's unsafe to surf and swim. Tell your representatives: Protect our health, fund the BEACH Act.

Deforestation is on the rise in areas of Brazil where Cargill sources commodities like soy, the cultivation of which has been linked to deforestation. And when tropical forests like these are crucial to protecting endangered species and slowing global warming, we can't afford to wait until 2030 to take action.

Cargill can be a leader when it comes to ending deforestation. I urge you to strengthen Cargill's commitment to eliminate deforestation in its supply chain by committing to achieve zero-deforestation by 2020.

Just imagine: Oil and gas drilling pads scattered across the frozen tundra. Heavy trucks and machinery thundering down newly paved roads. Acres of forest and animal habitat torn up to make way for human development.

We live in an age where we're running short on nature, and we simply can't allow them to risk this truly wild place for a little more oil.

Make your public comment today to stand up for the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

The mission of the Environmental Protection Agency is to protect human and environmental health. Restricting the types of science that the EPA can use in regulatory decision-making would undermine the EPA's ability to carry out this mission, and needlessly put the health of our families at risk. We deserve environmental protections informed by the best available science. I urge you not to implement the proposed 'Strengthening Transparency in Regulatory Science' rule.

Today, the House is voting on a polluter-friendly version of the Farm Bill, which is loaded with attacks on clean water and conservation. The bill would even exempt pesticides from the Clean Water Act. It's a no-brainer: Tell your representatives to oppose this destructive bill.

I urge you not to weaken protections for groundwater under the Clean Water Act.

Groundwater is the source of drinking water for millions of Americans, and without strong protections, this drinking water source will be at risk from leaky landfills, fracking waste pits, manure lagoons at factory farms, and other pollution sources. Exempting pollution that flows into groundwater from the Clean Water Act would put our drinking water at risk.

The Trump administration's moves to roll back America's clean car standards recklessly endanger our health and climate. If we slam the brakes on standards that reduce climate-destabilizing tailpipe emissions from cars, it will be more likely that the cars we drive tomorrow will burn more gas, trigger more asthma attacks, and accelerate climate change.

Tropical forest destruction drives out the orangutans, elephants, jaguars and other threatened or endangered animals that live in the forests. What's more, scientists estimate that razing forests to make way for crops or cattle accounts for 10-15 percent of the pollution that's warming the planet and changing the climate. As one of the biggest players in the world's food market, Cargill is in a position to help save our tropical forests. I urge Cargill to honor its 2014 pledge to end deforestation in all of its supply chains by 2020.

Coal ash poses a major threat to our waterways, putting them at risk of toxics like arsenic, mercury and lead. Researchers have found evidence of more than 200 cases of coal ash spills and contamination in the US, and the last thing we should do is weaken the few regulations that currently exist. Stand up for our water and don't cut back on coal ash regulations.

Solar energy can and should be a much larger part of our energy mix than it is today. With solar energy alone, we have the potential to produce 100 times more power than the total amount of energy we consume each year. More solar energy also means we'll have cleaner air and water, and that we're acting to combat climate change. Therefore, I support action in my community that accelerates the development of solar energy.

Please do not weaken protections for groundwater under the Clean Water Act.

Groundwater is the source of drinking water for millions of Americans, and without strong protections, this drinking water source will be at risk from leaky landfills, fracking waste pits, manure lagoons at factory farms, and other pollution sources.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is collecting public comments on their development plan for Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. Tell the BLM to prevent mining, drilling and other harmful activities in this special place.

Americans should be able to fish in our rivers and streams, swim in our lakes, and drink safe water from our taps. All too often, though, pollution from corporate agribusinesses enters our waterways, contributing to algal blooms, dead zones and more.

More than 37.6 million pounds of toxic pollution generated by facilities owned by Pilgrim's Pride and its parent company, JBS, entered our waterways from 2010 to 2014 alone. I urge you to commit Pilgrim's Pride to reducing its water pollution at its facilities, suppliers and contractors across the U.S.

EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt is rolling back the standards that reduce climate-destabilizing tailpipe emissions from cars. Recklessly slamming the brakes on this progress makes it more likely the cars we drive tomorrow will burn more gas, trigger more asthma attacks, and accelerate climate change.

Tell Scott Pruitt: That's the WRONG WAY on clean cars. Cite him for driving to endanger the planet today.

Containers made of polystyrene foam never fully break down. Every single piece of polystyrene ever manufactured is still out there today, harming wildlife and our environment. Tell the governor to support a statewide ban on polystyrene.

Each year, Americans throw away millions of foam cups and take-out boxes. Too often, this pollution ends up in our oceans and rivers, where it can harm or even kill birds, fish and other wildlife.

Something we use for a few minutes shouldn't be allowed to pollute our environment for hundreds of years. I urge you to support a ban on foam cups and boxes made of polystyrene to reduce pollution in our waters and protect wildlife.

Keeping our drinks hot or cold isn't worth polluting our environment for hundreds of years. I urge you to support a ban on foam cups and boxes made of polystyrene to reduce pollution in our rivers and protect wildlife.

Provisions in the budget bill would exempt the Tongass National Forest from the "Roadless Rule," potentially allowing logging and other destructive industries to cut down this wild, pristine forest. Tell Congress to stand up for one of America's great wild places and oppose the exemption.

I urge you to defend the existing vehicle emissions standards. When fully implemented, the existing standards are set to save 6 billion metric tons of dangerous global warming pollution and cut our oil use by 12 billion barrels. Weakening them in any way would be a mistake.

Do the right thing for our environment and stand with over 400 health professionals in defending the current clean car standards.

On March 20, the Department of the Interior is planning to hold a lease sale for lands near the former borders of Bears Ears National Monument. From delicate red rock formations, to sweeping vistas, to thousands of cultural and archaeological sites, Bears Ears has a lot to lose. Tell Secretary Ryan Zinke to cancel the lease sale.

The anti-environment riders in the budget bill hijack the budget process, cut the public out, and threaten our rivers, lakes and streams. Tell your members of Congress today to vote no on any bill that contains anti-environment riders.

The Environmental Protection Agency has extended the public comment period for neonicotinoid pesticides, which are harmful to birds and aquatic life and deadly to bees. Tell the EPA to ban these dangerous pesticides before it's too late.

The Clean Power Plan is our nation's best tool to reduce carbon pollution from power plants, combat climate change and protect our health. Analysis by the Environmental Protection Agency finds that the Clean Power Plan could prevent the premature deaths of as many as 4,500 Americans per year by 2030.

Americans deserve clean air to breathe and a safe future for our children. I urge you to protect our climate and our health by keeping the Clean Power Plan intact.

We're producing, consuming and wasting energy in ways that do lasting damage to our environment, our health and our climate. We should take steps right now toward a greener, healthier world, one in which we rely only on clean, renewable energy sources. Urge your members of Congress to embrace a goal of 100 percent renewable energy.

The Clean Power Plan is our nation's best tool to reduce carbon pollution from power plants, combat climate change and protect our health. Analysis by the Environmental Protection Agency finds that repealing the Clean Power Plan could cause the premature deaths of as many as 100,000 Americans by 2050.

Americans deserve clean air to breathe and a safe future for our children. I urge you to protect our climate and our health by keeping the Clean Power Plan intact.

The White House is proposing a 72 percent cut to the Department of Energy's renewable energy and energy efficiency programs -- once again showing their preference for fossil fuels at the expense of clean alternatives. Take action to prevent these cuts from taking place.

The Trump administration has been removing important climate change information from the websites for the Environmental Protection Agency and several cabinet departments. To protect our air, water, climate and health, we need access to good science, free from political influence.

Tell President Trump: Stop suppressing the facts about climate change.

Each year, millions of bees die off due in part to a widely used class of pesticides called neonicotinoids. But instead of banning these toxic pesticides, the Environmental Protection Agency is considering allowing them to be sprayed on 165 million acres of previously protected farmland.

With 700 bee species at risk of extinction, we can't afford to wait for the EPA to take action. Tell your governor to support a statewide ban on neonicotinoids.

Our oceans are vital to the lives and livelihoods of coastal communities, small businesses and marine wildlife, all of which are threatened by the proposal to open our coastal waters to offshore drilling.

I urge you to listen to the communities, small businesses, governors and the millions of Americans from Florida to Alaska who have voiced their opposition to offshore drilling.

Our oceans deserve to be protected. I urge you to exempt them from offshore drilling today.

The Trump administration just released their plan to open virtually all our oceans to offshore oil drilling -- and they're accepting your public comment today. You and I and every American who cares about clean and healthy oceans need to make our voices heard before it's too late.

Deepwater Horizon was the worst oil spill in American history, killing thousands of dolphins, sea turtles and other marine wildlife, and exposing Gulf residents to toxic chemicals that will linger for years. But now President Trump is trying to roll back the rules we put in place to keep a disaster like Deepwater Horizon from happening again.

The Trump administration just released their plan to open virtually all our oceans to offshore oil drilling -- and they're accepting your public comment today. You and I and every American who cares about clean and healthy oceans needs to make our voices heard before it's too late.

Clean, renewable solar energy has been growing at an amazing rate over the past 10 years, but our current Congress and president seem intent on propping up all the dirty energy sources that we know belong to the past -- not the future. It's time to take action right where we live and call on our governor to support policies that will expand solar energy here in Michigan.

As a hotspot of innovation and expertise, your college or university is uniquely positioned to help accelerate the transition to a clean energy future. Alumni and students will be instrumental in winning strong renewable energy commitments. Join our alumni team to show your alma mater that there is broad support for powering your campus with 100 percent renewable energy.

Millions of bees are dying off every year, due in part to the widespread use of neonicotinoids. Now, a recent study reveals how common the pesticide is, with 75 percent of all honey worldwide revealing contamination.

If we lose the bees, the consequences for our environment and our food supply could prove catastrophic. I urge you to ban the neonicotinoid pesticides that are killing bees.

The tax bill passed by the Senate late Friday night includes an obscure provision that could stifle wind and solar energy. The House version of the bill also scraps key renewable energy tax credits. If the final bill includes either or both of these provisions, it "would have a devastating ... impact on wind and solar energy," according to renewable energy industry leaders. Send your elected officials a note today urging them to oppose the bill.

The electrical grids of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands were almost totally destroyed by Hurricane Maria, causing tremendous hardship and suffering. Power needs to be restored quickly, and it should be done in ways that prioritize the health and well-being of the citizens of our Caribbean islands. But if we don't demand resilience and clean energy, FEMA could rebuild the same old, fossil-fuel powered grids that were in place before the hurricanes. Tell your senators to support funding to restore power and clean water as quickly as possible. At the same time, urge them to require that money spent by federal agencies to upgrade the grid be focused on a cleaner and more resilient electrical grid powered by clean, renewable energy.

Even though nearly 90 percent of Americans support more solar energy in America, a national network of utility and fossil fuel groups are chipping away at key state solar policies, threatening to stop rooftop solar's progress in its tracks. Tell your governor to oppose these efforts, and support policies that make it easier for everyone to go solar at their homes.

From Teddy Roosevelt to Barack Obama, America's presidents have declared more than 150 special places as national monuments to be protected forever under the Antiquities Act. Now Congress is trying to gut that law, making it harder to protect our nation’s irreplaceable lands and giving future presidents the power to slash existing protections.

We can harness clean, abundant energy more efficiently and cheaply than ever before. Yet we're still producing, consuming and wasting energy in ways that are doing lasting damage to our environment, our health and our climate. I support 100 percent renewable energy for colleges and universities across America.

As hotspots of innovation and expertise, colleges and universities are uniquely positioned to help accelerate the transition to a clean energy future. Campuses are also bigtime energy users, serving more than 20 million students nationwide and spending more than $14 billion per year on energy. Add your name in support of a 100% renewable energy future on college campuses.

Note: For "organization," please enter your affiliated college or university.

The Environmental Protection Agency should have the resources it needs to safeguard our air, water and health from toxic threats. Yet President Trump's budget proposal would slash EPA funding by as much as one-third.

The Trump administration has moved to roll back the Clean Power Plan, one of the best protections we have against air pollution. Tell President Trump: Don't erase protections that keep our air clean and breathable.

The 100 by '50 Act would implement policies to phase out fossil fuels and put America on the path to achieving 100% renewable energy by 2050. There's no better time than now for America to make a commitment to a clean, renewable future.

The Trump administration is poised to erase protections for national monuments across the country. These one of a kind places could be opened for logging, offshore drilling and more. Tell President Trump: Keep public lands in public hands. Don't slash protections for our national monuments.

Our national monuments are part of what make our country special. For most Americans, the idea that we've found some places so beautiful, sacred even, that we put them off limits to development, forever, is one of our proudest achievements. I urge you to uphold this tradition and make sure places like Grand Staircase-Escalante, Cascade-Siskiyou and more are preserved for future generations to enjoy.

In the face of overwhelming evidence that climate change is causing our oceans to rise, it's unacceptable that we wouldn't take these changes into account as we build roads, bridges and other infrastructure. But last month, the Trump administration rolled back rules requiring that certain infrastructure projects do just that. Tell President Trump: Now, more than ever, we need to plan for climate change and rising sea levels.

I urge you to keep in place the existing vehicle emissions standards. When fully implemented, the existing standards are set to save 6 billion metric tons of dangerous global warming pollution and cut our oil use by 12 billion barrels; weakening them in any way would be a mistake.

Do the the right thing for our health and environment and keep the standards in place.

Our national monuments are part of what make our country special. For most Americans, the idea that we've found some places so beautiful, sacred even, that we put them off limits to development, forever, is one of our proudest achievements.

I urge you to uphold this tradition and make sure places like Bears Ears, Katahdin Woods & Waters and more are preserved for future generations to enjoy.

The Smoggy Skies Act would block updated ozone pollution limits for years, and impose sweeping changes to future standards for smog-forming ozone and five other major air pollutants. Urge your senators to vote 'No'.

Our coasts and oceans are home to stunning wildlife and beautiful beaches that we stand to lose from offshore drilling.

I urge the Trump administration to listen to the thousands of citizens, fishermen and business owners in our coastal communities and the millions of Americans from Alaska to Florida who have already said no to offshore drilling in our oceans.

Opening them to new offshore drilling goes against the values a majority of Americans share: that our oceans should be preserved, not sold off to the highest bidder.

When it comes to our streams, rivers, lakes and wetlands, the waters we love deserve to be protected.

But the Trump administration has made clear their intentions to roll back essential protections to our clean water like the Clean Water Rule, which protects the drinking water sources of 117 million Americans.

I want stronger, not weaker clean water protections. That's why I'm calling on you to defend the waters Americans love, and uphold the Clean Water Rule.

Senators are trying to gut the Endangered Species Act, putting wolves, sea otters and more than a thousand other species at risk of extinction. We need you to tell your senators: Defend the Endangered Species Act and stop this dangerous bill.

I am deeply concerned that the EPA has published reports recognizing that imidacloprid poses risks to honey bees as part of its updated risk assessment, but has yet to remove the pesticide from the market.

I urge you to take immediate action, listen to scientific studies, including your agency's own analysis, that provide compelling evidence that the pesticide is harmful, and ban all neonicotinoids, including imidacloprid, dinotefuran, clothianidin and thiamethoxam.

The Grand Canyon is one of America's iconic places, as much a part of our national identity as the bald eagle or the Statue of Liberty. It's one of the places that makes America beautiful, and it deserves to be protected.

I urge you to protect this unique natural wonder for future generations by blocking reckless and short-sighted efforts to open the surrounding land up for uranium mining.

Abandoning the Paris Climate Agreement will risk our health and the future of our planet. And if Washington, D.C., won’t act on climate, we need to take the lead. Tell our governor to curb climate change by cutting pollution today.

President Trump is making a huge mistake, risking our health and the future of our planet. If Washington, D.C., won't act on climate, we need our governors to take the lead here at home. Tell your governor to curb climate change by cutting pollution today.

President Trump is making a huge mistake, risking our health and the future of our planet. If Washington, D.C., won't act on climate, we need our governors to take the lead here at home. Tell your governor to curb climate change by cutting pollution today.

I am concerned by your recent comments hinting that you might intervene with state renewable energy standards. Twenty-nine states now have renewable energy standards -- and if we're serious about avoiding the worst impacts of global warming and getting to 100 percent renewable energy, we should encourage more to join them. Please stay out of the way of states who are acting to improve their communities by pursuing stronger renewable energy policies.

Former President Obama did the right thing when he banned offshore drilling in parts of the Atlantic and denied permits from oil companies seeking to use seismic blasting to discover oil below the ocean floor.

Now, President Trump has reopened parts of the Atlantic to offshore drilling, and six companies are asking the Department of the Interior to approve their seismic blasting permits -- which will harm marine life and contribute to our dependence on fossil fuels.

Please send Interior Secretary Zinke a message and urge him to deny all seismic blasting permits.

The Trump administration could be the first in U.S. history to revoke national monument protections. The first to lose protection could be Utah's Bears Ears, home to incredible scenery and thousands of years of historical artifacts. Our national network is joining together to tell Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke to keep Bears Ears protected.

Numerous government studies have all pointed to the same conclusion: Chlorpyrifos, diazinon and malathion harm nearly 1,800 endangered or critically threatened species. But Dow Chemical, manufacturer of chlorpyrifos, is urging the Environmental Protection Agencies to ignore these studies and to decline to regulate these dangerous pesticides.

From Utah’s Bears Ears to Hawaii’s Papahanaumokuakea, from Arizona’s Grand Canyon-Parashant to California’s Giant Sequoia, some of our most incredible natural treasures are protected today as national monuments.

They’re part of what makes this country great, ensuring that future generations can enjoy their beauty as well as the culture and history surrounding them.

I urge you to honor and affirm all of our national monuments. Our families today and for generations to come are counting on you.

More solar energy will benefit our community by reducing air pollution as we do our part to slow climate change. That's why I support setting strong goals and policies for solar energy in our community.

When it comes to protecting our environment, Americans stand united. We want clean air to breathe, clean water to drink, public lands to enjoy, and a livable climate to share.

The children we know and love today can live cleaner, healthier lives in a greener world, but only if we can keep our environmental protections in place and make them stronger. I urge you to publicly oppose any bill that would threaten our environment or our health.

President Trump’s proposed federal budget would virtually eliminate EPA funding for proven programs that are cleaning up the the Great Lakes, Chesapeake Bay, Puget Sound, San Francisco Bay and more.

These regional programs have already made a difference. They’ve improved toxic pollution hotspots, restored coastal wetlands and worked to keep invasive species like the Asian carp out of the Great Lakes.

I urge you to reject any dangerous and short-sighted budget that cuts funding to these successful clean water programs.

Bears Ears National Monument is a valuable addition to our country's wonderful natural heritage. It, along with the other parks, forests, monuments and other public lands we love, deserves our protection.

Yet some short-sighted members of Congress are urging President Trump and yourself to revoke Bears Ears' national monument designation under the Antiquities Act -- the very act that Teddy Roosevelt enacted to protect our natural heritage.

I urge you to support and defend the Bears Ears National Monument designation.

We can have healthier communities and a brighter future. But to get there, we need to transform the way we produce and consume energy.

That's why we're calling for a nationwide commitment to 100% clean, renewable energy. Colleges, companies, and communities across the country can lead the way by committing to getting 100 percent of their energy from clean, renewable sources.

The cars we drive should be cleaner, burning less gas and emitting less pollution. Current national standards point us in the right direction. But the president and his administration are moving to roll them back -- which could mean more of us breathing dirtier air, more kids suffering asthma attacks, and a climate that's changing even more rapidly.

The issue is likely to end up in Congress. If we can convince 41 senators to vote to defend clean car standards from rollbacks, we can win.

The president and his administration are moving to undo the Clean Power Plan, which would deliver more clean, renewable energy to America and reduce the pollution that's changing our climate. The debate is likely to end up in Congress. If we can convince 41 senators to vote to defend the Clean Power Plan, we can win.

When it comes to our streams, rivers, lakes and wetlands, the waters we love deserve to be protected.

But the new administration and Congress have made clear their intentions to roll back essential protections to our clean water like the Clean Water Rule, which protects the drinking water sources of 117 million Americans.

I want stronger, not weaker clean water protections. That's why I'm calling on you to defend the waters Americans love, and pledge to block any and all legislation to roll back protections to our clean water.

States have always been at the forefront of climate progress. Now more than ever, we need states to lead the way towards a clean energy future. Urge your governor to make a commitment to a rapid shift to 100 percent renewable energy.

I'm writing to urge you to designate the Arctic Wildlife Refuge as a protected wilderness. This incredible place is home to polar bears, whales, seals, caribou and other wildlife. Unfortunately, attempts to bring oil and gas drilling to the region threaten to destroy the habitat that these animals need to survive. Additionally, it is now more important than ever that we leave fossil fuels in the ground, given the increasing number of extreme weather events caused by climate change.

When it comes to the people and places we love, they all deserve protection. Period. Tell your senators to defend critical environmental protections.

Dear Senator, I urge you to vote against any and all attempts to dismantle environmental protections that keep our air, water, and land clean and our families safe. Please act now to protect the people and places we love.

When it comes to our streams, rivers, lakes and wetlands, they all deserve protection. Period.

Tell your senators to defend the Clean Water Act by voting against any attempts to roll back the Clean Water Rule, which ensures the protection of more than 2 million miles of rivers and streams and the drinking water sources for one in three Americans.

The Arctic is a place of unique beauty, and home to one of the most fragile and sensitive ecosystems in the world. This pristine region should be protected, not exploited for oil and gas and made vulnerable to the unnecessary risk of oil spills.

Please stand up for the Arctic and reject Senate Bill 49, the Alaska Oil and Gas Production Act.

Since 2005, the oil and gas industry has fracked over 137,000 wells, used over 6 billion pounds of chemicals (including potential carcinogens), and produced billions of gallons of fracking wastewater. Yet the fracking industry is exempt from regulation by the EPA. Now more than ever, it's urgent that we close loopholes in our nation's key environmental laws that exempt the fracking industry.

Join us in calling on Congress to close the loopholes that leave us vulnerable to toxic contamination of our drinking water.

Some members of Congress are gearing up to overturn President Obama's ban on all future offshore oil and gas drilling in the fragile regions of the Arctic and Atlantic. Tell your senators: The Arctic and Atlantic are worth protecting!

The mining industry is pushing hard to open the land around the Grand Canyon to claims to dig for uranium and other metals. This could have catastrophic affects on the wildlife and waterways in and around the park and expose millions of people to radioactive uranium pollution.

With your help, we can stop this from happening. And with little time left in office, it is more urgent than ever that President Obama act now to protect the Grand Canyon -- forever. Add your name to our petition:

President Obama just retracted plans to open drilling in the Arctic. This will protect wildlife like polar bears, whales and walrus as well as moving us away from fossil fuels. Let him know how much it means to you:

The mining industry is pushing hard to open the land around the park to claims to dig for uranium and other metals. This could have catastrophic affects on the wildlife and waterways in and around the park and expose millions of people to radioactive uranium pollution.

But we can protect the Grand Canyon by ending mining activity in its surrounding areas. Forever. Add your name to our petition to President Obama today.

Big Cypress is home to wildlife like sandhill cranes, river otters, and endangered Florida panthers. Fracking would destroy this important habitat. Tell the Department of Interior not to let frackers trample Big Cypress.

President Obama just officially designated a new national monument within Maine's North Woods -- protecting 87,500 acres of wilderness area and forest, home to moose, bear, migratory songbirds and more.

As global temperatures continue to break records, we need to cut the pollution that's making the problem worse.

The Obama Administration's Department of Transportation is considering a rule that would require state and metropolitan transportation organizations to track, measure, and set goals to reduce carbon pollution as well as other air pollution from transportation projects.

This new measure would help reduce global warming pollution, while increasing investment in public transit, expanding zero-carbon transportation like walking and biking, and cleaning up the air we breathe. But it won't happen without your support. Tell the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Environmental Protection Agency you support new rules to curb pollution from transportation.

Right now, we have the chance to end a senseless program that fast tracks the construction of pipelines in our nation's wetlands, which provide habitat for many animals and plants, not to mention the critical role they play in improving water quality. Add your name to help us end this program and protect our vital wetlands.

Glyphosate, the chemical used in Monsanto's Roundup, is extremely prevalent in our bodies, food, and environment, and new evidence shows the chemical may cause cancer. Tell the EPA to suspend use of glyphosate until it's proven safe.

Fracking has left behind a radioactive legacy, endangering public health. Researchers identified 3,900 radioactive spill sites in the Bakken Shale region, one of the most fracked areas in the country. Radioactive spills put surrounding communities at elevated risk of cancer. The only way to stop this health disaster is to ban fracking. Add your name in support of a ban.

*If you're a health professional, please indicate this in the "Occupation" field.

Today on World Oceans Day, we need our leaders to do everything to protect our oceans, especially from climate change. Your governor has the power to dramatically cut carbon pollution from the biggest source in the U.S. -- power plants -- and shift to a renewable energy future.

Places like Puerto Rico's Vieques National Wildlife Refuge should be protected, not sold off to the highest bidder.

But that's exactly what will happen if House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Rob Bishop gets his way. It's outrageous and it's just the most recent attempt to sell off our public lands to make a quick buck.

Will you send a message to your members of Congress right now, telling them: Our public lands are not for sale. Not one acre.

It's the 100th anniversary of our national park system. But instead of celebrating America's "best idea," some in Congress want to sell off our treasured public lands -- land that belongs to all Americans.

Send a message to your representatives: Our public lands are not for sale. Not one acre.

The Great Barrier Reef is in 'grave danger' due to climate change. In order to protect this beautiful place, we need to take strong action here at home.

Sign our petition to our governors, telling them to stand up to big polluters and their allies trying to turn back progress on climate. Support the Clean Power Plan and protect beautiful places like the Great Barrier Reef.

It's the 100th anniversary of our national park system. But instead of celebrating America's "best idea," some in Congress want to sell off our public lands, even as mining threatens the Grand Canyon and drilling threatens the Everglades.

Send a message to your representatives: Keep our parks in public hands.

It's the 100th anniversary of our national park system. But instead of celebrating America's "best idea," some in Congress want to sell off our public lands, even as mining threatens the Grand Canyon and drilling threatens the Everglades.

Send a message to your representatives: Keep our parks in public hands.

Pollution from factory farms and other corporate agribusinesses is polluting our waters on a massive scale, but nobody is forcing them to clean up their act, and they won't change unless we demand it. Add your name now!

Lead poisoning can create serious problems for children, but many public schools throughout the country are showing high levels of lead in drinking water, and no one really knows the extent of the problem because only 10 percent of schools are required to test for it.

Tell President Obama and EPA to require all public schools and day cares to test for lead and to immediately make those tests public so regulators, schools, and parents can make informed decisions if a school's drinking water is safe.

Twenty-seven years ago, the Exxon Valdez oil tanker struck a reef and dumped 11 million gallons of oil off Alaska's coast, spreading more than 1,300 miles and killing hundreds of thousands of wildlife. Today, the Obama administration has plans that would allow new drilling in the Arctic and the Gulf, risking our climate and communities. Tell President Obama: No new drilling!

President Obama just retracted plans to open drilling in the Atlantic Coast. This will protect marine wildlife like dolphins, sea turtles, and endangered right whales. Let him know how much it means to you:

Our aging and corroded water infrastructure throughout the country is failing at an alarming rate. And the stakes couldn't be higher: the very water we drink. Thankfully, a bill was just introduced that would go a long way toward fixing this problem.

Take action now, and let's convince our senators to support much-needed upgrades for America's drinking water.

Our coasts are home to stunning wildlife and incredible beaches, from the bald eagles and loggerhead sea turtles in the Chesapeake Bay to the white sandy beaches of the Outer Banks.

But offshore drilling is putting our natural heritage and marine life at risk. Even the standard operations of offshore drilling rigs kill and injure wildlife and threaten human health and the economy. And when major disasters happen -- such as the 2010 BP Deepwater Horizon blowout -- they are catastrophic.

It’s up to the states now. President Obama has taken action to limit global warming pollution, including the global agreement he forged in Paris. But to make the president’s Clean Power Plan work, every state needs to develop the strongest carbon reduction plan possible.

Take action, and call on our governor to protect our kids and set the strongest plan possible.

One of the country's largest natural gas storage facilities, located just outside Los Angeles, is sending 110,000 pounds of climate-disrupting methane into the air every hour.

Meanwhile, the Obama administration is finalizing rules to limit methane emissions from new oil and gas facilities. But the current proposal does nothing to prevent future disasters from existing oil and gas facilities.

Tell President Obama and the EPA to take stronger action to protect our climate and communities from methane pollution.

The final and most serious congressional battle in the polluter-driven war to derail the Clean Water Rule is happening now. Through the budget process, polluters are trying to undermine safeguards for our cherished waterways, drinking water, and public health.

Send a quick note to your members of Congress now, telling them you want a clean budget without dirty-water riders.

This year was a major milestone as construction began on America's first offshore wind project but unfortunately, Congress allowed the main federal tax incentives for wind energy to expire in 2014 -- leaving the future of wind in peril. Don't let Congress stand in the way of our clean energy future.

America's rivers, streams, lakes and other waters are where we go to swim, fish, canoe or just enjoy the scenery. They supply us with clean drinking water. And we should be doing all we can to protect them.

But polluters and their allies in Congress are fighting to reverse the president's historic action to protect the waters we love.

We're setting the record straight: Americans are for clean water. Not polluting rollbacks.

Despite the devastating environmental impacts of drilling, mining, and burning fossil fuels, the oil and gas industry has no plans of stopping. That's why senators from across the country are coming together to pass landmark legislation.

The 'Keep Fossil Fuels In The Ground' bill would:

Ban drilling in the Arctic

Stop new drilling leases in the Pacific, Atlantic, and Gulf of Mexico

Stop new oil, coal, and gas leases on all federal lands

While senators from Oregon and California to Vermont and New York have already cosponsored the bill, we need more senators to stand beside them. Tell your senator to be a champion for the environment:

Water is our most precious resource, but the threats to our waterways and drinking water are downright frightening. Tell Congress there is nothing to fear from clean water, but plenty to fear from not protecting it.

The BP Deepwater Horizon blowout took a massive toll on our environment, the region's wildlife, and nearby communities. For three months after the initial explosion, millions of gallons of crude oil and thousands of tons of methane spewed from the sea floor. Eleven people were killed and dozens more injured. Five years later, we are still suffering from the impacts.

BP was found "grossly negligent" for its role in the disaster, however, their settlement will be almost entirely tax deductible. Tell the Department of Justice to deny BP tax write offs for its remaining payments to address the 2010 Gulf Coast disaster.

For 50 years, the Land and Water Conservation Fund has protected watersheds and drinking water, preserved our national heritage, and conserved natural areas and open space for wildlife and recreation -- all while providing sustainable, local jobs to communities across America.

Back in 1965, Congress made a promise to all Americans to use funds generated from offshore oil and gas leasing to conserve our precious landscapes and create close-to-home parks for the public to use and enjoy. But this Congress broke that promise when they failed to reauthorize the LWCF by the Sept. 30 deadline. They still have the opportunity to do the right thing by the end of the year.

After a summer like this, we know we need to do everything we can to tackle global warming pollution. Making trucks go farther on a gallon of fuel can curb pollution, help save the planet, and save money.

Voice your support NOW for cleaning up dirty trucks!

Tell the EPA to pass the strongest possible rule -- to reduce pollution from medium- and heavy-duty vehicles by 40% by 2025!

Volkswagen repeatedly violated the Clean Air Act for the last 6 years. Their "clean-diesel" cars could be emitting up to 15-35 times more smog-forming pollution while on the road than was showing up on their emissions tests.

This is UNACCEPTABLE: Sign our petition to tell the EPA that we need to prosecute Volkswagen to the fullest extent of the law.

The Obama administration is considering permanently protecting two of the nation's most magical underwater habitats. These areas are home to a remarkable diversity of ocean life from endangered right whales to sea turtles, but without protections, these fragile habitats and the animals that call them home are at risk.

Urge President Obama to protect these national treasures before it's too late.

Polluters friends in the U.S. Senate are reaching deep into the bag of dirty tricks to halt restored protections for our waterways. We can't let any of their "dirty water" efforts succeed. Send a note to your senators asking them to stand for clean water.

The Clean Power Plan is the strongest action we've ever taken to tackle global warming. The plan will reduce carbon pollution from power plants by 32% and it’s a critical part of helping us reach a strong climate deal in Paris later this fall.

But it’s under fire from all corners. Polluters and allies are filing lawsuits. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is even calling foreign officials to undermine President Obama's plan.

With record drought, record wildfire and record global temperatures, we can't afford to let climate-deniers block this critical step before it has a chance to work.

As the oil and gas industry seeks to expand fracking on public lands across the country, including near our national parks and areas that provide critical drinking water for millions of Americans, now is the time to call on our elected officials to take a stand against dirty drilling.

The Protect Our Public Lands Act would ban fracking on all federal lands, protecting our most special places from fracking's dangerous and destructive impacts. While the only way to truly protect our environment and our health from fracking is to ban it outright, some places are just too precious to drill and frack and that includes our parks, canyons and forests.

Tell your representatives to take a stand against fracking by cosponsoring the Protect Our Public Lands Act.

President Obama finalized the Clean Power Plan, the biggest step we've ever taken to tackle the climate crisis -- and predictably, climate deniers almost immediately attempted to block it. It's up to us to defend it.

Some members of Congress are trying to pass a law that would eliminate federal oversight of spraying pesticides in and around our waterways.

Pesticides have been linked to a wide range of human health hazards and wildlife die-offs. Permitting helps ensure pesticides are used in a responsible way that reduces contamination of our streams, rivers, and lakes.

In less than 50 days, our nation's most successful conservation program could end.

From the Grand Canyon to the parks and trails in our own backyards, the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) has set aside and protected special places for the past 50 years. Don't let Congress let it die.

Attacks against advancement and attempts to turn back the path of process are rampant in our nation. Policies such as The Clean Power Plan and Clean Energy Incentive Program are essential for not just our children’s future, but also to protect our current way of life. However, with big coal and other special interests fighting to keep things just as they are, we need to do more to make sure these policies remain in place.

Solar, energy efficiency, and wind are the best ways to assure that the clean power plan is successful. We know clean energy solutions work, and we know how to make them available for all.

Sign to help the EPA implement affordable energy solutions as a part of the Clean Energy Incentive Program.

The Clean Power Plan is the single-biggest step the United States has taken to reduce global warming pollution. Ever since the Obama administration proposed it in 2014, polluters and climate deniers have fought it every step of the way. But now, the rules are final, and it's time to celebrate!

Join us in thanking the president for acting on climate, and passing the Clean Power Plan.

Solar is often viewed as an option only available to the upper middle class and wealthy. President Obama just took an important step to help remedy that and make sure that all Americans have the right to choose clean energy.

Thank you for sending a letter to the President thanking him and letting him know we back his efforts to expand solar energy for all.

Polluters and their friends in Congress are taking steps right now that could overturn the president's historic action for clean water. Now that we've restored the Clean Water Act, we're not going to let the polluters carve it up again.

A third of U.S. global warming pollution comes from transportation. Big trucks represent an opportunity to clean that pollution up. Although they make up only 7 percent of the traffic on our roads, medium-and heavy-duty vehicles produce more than a quarter of on-road global warming pollution.

The U.S Environmental Protection Agency and the National Highway Traffic & Safety Administration have proposed a new standard that will make trucks go further on a gallon of diesel. This is an important opportunity to prevent pollution, help America get off of oil, and save us all money. Tell Transportation Secretary Foxx and EPA Administrator McCarthy to make the final rule as strong as possible.

Polluters and their friends in Congress are taking steps right now that could overturn the president's historic action for clean water. Now that we've restored the Clean Water Act, we're not going to let the polluters carve it up again.

Fracking uses a wide range of toxic chemicals that can contaminate our drinking water, pose health threats to our families and pollute our waterways. High concentrations of heavy metals, chemical additives and even cancer causing compounds such as benzene have been found in wastewater produced by fracking.

Astonishingly, this toxic wastewater can still be sent to sewage treatment plants that were never designed to treat all of the pollutants found in it. This allows pollutants to directly enter our waterways putting at risk downstream rivers and streams including sources of drinking water for millions of Americans.

The Environmental Protection Agency has proposed a rule to stop fracking's toxic wastewater from being sent to these facilities. Will you add your name in support today?

Polluters and their friends in Congress are taking steps right now that could overturn the president's historic action for clean water. Now that we've restored the Clean Water Act, we're not going to let the polluters carve it up again.

Solar is a virtually limitless, pollution-free energy source for the United States. We oppose recent efforts by you, the Koch Brothers, as well as your related organizations and special interest allies, that seek to slow down or halt the advancement of solar energy.

The House will vote any day now on two bills designed to kill restoring protections for our waterways. At stake here is the drinking water for one in three Americans, as well as the quality of life that comes from enjoying our favorite waterways.

Please send your representative a quick note letting him or her know you’re fired up for clean water.

Industrial facilities continue to dump millions of pounds of toxic chemicals into our waterways — threatening both the environment and human health.

In fact, JBS Plainwell dumped 1.2 million pounds of toxic releases into Michigan's waters in 2012, a significant portion of the 1.8 million total pounds of toxics dumped into Michigan's waterways that year.

Polluters should be held accountable for their actions. Please sign the petition to urge JBS Plainwell to stop polluting Michigan's waters.

The same companies that are polluting our rivers with toxic chemicals are also polluting our politics with their spending.

Right now, Michigan’s water polluters are spending millions to lobby their allies on Capitol Hill to block the clean water rule, which, if adopted, will help protect the drinking water of 1.4 million Michiganders that is currently at risk to pollution. A bill to stop the clean water rule is currently pending in the House of Representatives.

Send a note to your representative asking him or her to not be influenced by polluters, but to listen to the majority of Michiganders who want to move forward with protecting our waterways and drinking water.

President Obama has proposed the biggest action we’ve seen in years to fight global warming – setting the first-ever limits on global warming pollution from existing coal plants, the single largest source of global warming pollution in America.

The proposed clean water rule would restore protections to nearly 25,000 miles of Michigan's streams. Will Congress heed the more than 800,000 Americans who have called on the EPA to protect our drinking water and ensure the health of our streams? Or will Congress cater to the polluters and developers who want to pollute our waterways and pave over our wetlands? We're on the verge of a big victory, but we need your action to protect the waters we love!

Send a message to your Congress members urging them to move forward on clean water by making a public statement in support of the clean water rule.

Will the U.S. Senate heed the more than 740,000 Americans who have called on the EPA to restore Clean Water Act protections to nearly 2 million miles of our nation's streams? Or will the Senate cater to the oil and gas, coal, developer and agribusiness lobbies that want to block us? We're on the verge of a big victory, but we need your action to protect the waters we love.

Send a message to your senators urging them to move forward on clean water—not backward.
